Chapter 6: The Untold Story, System Update
Chapter 6: The Untold Story, System Update
"Before I speak, let me ask you, what do you think is the bond between humans and elves?" Kyurem looked at Qi Hao, and Qi Hao realized that Kyurem needed an answer from the heart.
“Bonds? I think...bonds are ties, bonds that connect our hearts, like Dad, Godmother, Little Sister (Little Big Doll's nickname) and me. We are four lives, three races, but we are connected by bonds, living together. We are already family.” That was all Qi Hao could think of.
As for Bond Phenomenon and such, there is no other example besides Ash's Greninja. That is something Qihao longs for, but it is not something he can currently access.
"Haha, very true! Although it's only part of it, I'm very satisfied with your answer." Kyurem's laughter revealed satisfaction, because Qihao's answer made him realize that Qihao was not someone who treated Pokémon as tools, but had the potential to become a trainer.
"Now, let me tell you the story from back then: the ideals of the two heroes, Idealism and Reality, diverged, and I was caught in the middle, not knowing who to support, or rather, I supported both sides. But when I realized it, their ideas were already deeply rooted, and the conflict intensified."
"But as the creators of the region, their hearts would not be swayed by external things. It was at this moment that Arceus stepped forward. He used his great power to split me apart. The power of the Dragon of the Way, along with the bond with the two heroes, transformed into the White Dragon and the Black Dragon, as well as this cold body."
“Yes, that’s right, it’s the creator god—Arceus. But Arceus only did the splitting, while it was the bond that guided the power to give birth to the two dragons!” Kyurem looked at Qi Hao meaningfully.
"????????????? Arceus? No, that's obviously not the point! So... bonds can even guide the power of divine beasts? They can even give birth to divine beasts!!?" Qi Hao looked incredulous; the power of bonds far exceeded his imagination.
"Yes, the power of bonds is beyond imagination, and most of the things that can be done are unbelievable. Not many people can use them, but those who can are almost all powerful trainers, or rather, true trainers." Kyurem looked at Qihao with hope in his eyes.
Having lived together for so many years, Qihao naturally noticed: "No! I don't think I ever told you I wanted to be a trainer!"
Kyurem said speechlessly, "▼_▼Even an idiot can see it! After you could talk, run, and jump, when you went outside to play and saw a wild Pokémon, you would yell at your Little Pikachu: 'Go, Little Pikachu! Use Smash!' Even a dog would get hit twice if it came near you. Do you think I don't know that?"
Qi Hao was completely dumbfounded: "Wow, how did you know! Did Miss Bu betray me?!"
"Alright, it's time to go back to sleep. You still need to grow. As for being a trainer, that's my expectation for my son." With that, Kyurem went to sleep.
At this moment, Qi Hao stopped him and asked, "Dad, why were you so angry just now? Did the Metagross leader say something? Why did the leader do that?"
Kyurem said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. He just made a request, but that's not why I'm angry. I'm angry because it's a drop in the ocean for the complete me, but it's something I can't do right now."
"As for why he did this, it's because his wife was nearly killed when she fought with the Bangirat tribe for territory years ago. He even traded with humans to work as a henchman for three years to save her life. To protect his wife, he even learned ground-type skills."
“But now they are going to have a baby, and his wife’s depleted body simply can’t support it. She will die soon after giving birth.” After saying this, he walked towards his room inside the cave.
Upon hearing this, Qi Hao thought to himself: No wonder the earthquake was ranked first. The double restraint was indeed suitable for dealing with Tyranitar. Judging from this, his proficiency with the Arm Hammer was probably not low either. But Dad wasn't angry because of the offense, but because he was powerless?
Without a second thought, Qi Hao boasted, "Dad! One day I'll make sure you're back to your original self!"
Kyurem paused upon hearing this, then turned around and, seeing Qi Hao's determined gaze, burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, good! As expected of my son!" His hearty laughter, filled with pride and satisfaction, was deafening, even shaking the cave. Of course, he forgot about the two sleeping elves.

System Update: Task and Reward Mechanism
The task is triggered automatically and there is no penalty, but once it is triggered automatically, it cannot be refused. The reward is automatically issued and cannot be refused either.
Mission 1 (Arceus-class): Merge the three dragons of the Dao into one, transforming them into the ultimate dragon of the Dao. Reward: Primal Stone. PS: Original item, no prototype.
Mission 2 (Arceus-class): Bring the First Dragon of the Way back to the world. Reward: The Heart of Still Water, a Mirror Beyond Limits.
After laughing, Kyurem returned to his cave, while Qi Hao stood at the entrance of his cave, looking at the system task panel and starting to chatter away to the system.
[Why are you popping up again?!]
"Now you finally have a goal! From now on, rely on this system a lot!"
[I refuse. I don't need you messing around like that. You've already created the Heart of Still Water; I'm afraid you'll create some kind of creature from another world.]
"(?w?) Okay, but I have to be useful! Shouldn't the system help its host dominate the battlefield?"
[Then tell me, would you bring over creatures from other worlds? Would you directly modify a Pokémon's traits? What about its attributes? Would you directly implement any technology, singularities, or any other random stuff?]
Even the incredibly thick-skinned system lost its confidence after hearing this. "(o﹏o?) I...I can't. I can't even recruit creatures from other worlds. My rewards were all from Arceus. Aaaaah! QAQ I'm useless!!!"
[Stop, stop, stop! Don't cry yet. Let me finish. It's good that you don't know those things. I don't want this world to be messed up, and I don't want any weird or strange Pokémon to appear. They were fine as they were. You can probably sense how disgusted I was when I first saw Charizard holding water.]
[Now, I agree. The fact that Arceus created that thing means Arceus permitted it, so I'll consider it as something that already existed. The cooperation is now established.]
"Really?! Yay!!"
[→_→ Forbidden!]
"Well, actually, the things you mentioned don't require a system. The spirits' efforts, the deepening of their bonds, and so on—these are all uncontrollable. Not to mention, people can modify spirits; that's reality, and reality is far more absurd than fiction."
[(?_??)so?]
"Therefore, there are special cases regarding Bond Evolution. In terms of attributes, it's even possible to create a three-attribute Pokémon, and its traits can even change after Bond Evolution."
[What the hell is this?!]
The day ended with Qi Hao grumbling and cursing.
